Abstract: 747,844. Batteries. UNION CARBIDE & CARBON CORPORATION. Dec. 23, 1953 [March 12, 1953], No. 35740/53. Class 53. The container of a dry cell is made of three layers as shown in Fig. 7, the inner layer 36 being of paper or other absorbent material, the second layer 38 consisting of a vinyl polymer or other synthetic resin and the outer layer 40 being of paper. A further paper layer 41 may be added. The cell is closed by metal members 46, 42 which engage the curled ends of the container as shown at 50, 44, Fig. 1. The zinc cup 10 is in contact with the member 46 which is separated from the terminal 28 by a washer 30. Gases escape through an opening 32 in the terminal. The members 46, 28 may be made in one piece as shown in Fig. 3, the zinc cup being then insulated from the top closure by a ring 58. The carbon rod 18 may be provided with an axial passage leading to the aperture 32 to facilitate the escape of gas. The upper part of the cell is coated with wax 52. In a modification the aperture 32 is dispensed with and the ring 58 is permeable to gas which escapes through the joints 50, 44. The wax covers only the under surface of the top closure 56 in this construction. The bottom of the zinc cup is in contact with the closure member 42 which may be of tinned steel and soldered or welded to the zinc cup. The space 9 between the member 42 and the bottom of the zinc cup serves to receive electrolyte which may exude if the cup is ruptured. The three-ply container may be made by feeding two paper strips each coated on one side with the plastic material to a tube winding machine to form the three layers 36, 38, 40, Fig. 7. A third sheet of paper 41 may then be wound on. The wax 52 is placed in the upper part of the cell during assembly and when the cell is finally closed it is heated and spun about its longitudinal axis in a horizontal position. Several cells may be treated simultaneously by placing them in an inverted position on a moving belt which passes through a heating zone to melt the wax. The cells are then rolled down an inclined plane and finally allowed to stand in an inverted position till the wax is hardened.
